After writing the above, a light dawned. Given that insync-headless is marketed for servers, its natural mode of operation is going to be independent of who is logged in. In turns out that the (undocumented) configuration options include one called 'run_on_startup', which by default is set to False. I changed it to True, disabled my systemd service, and rebooted. Lo and behold, insync-headless is now running on boot. What the config option does is install a crontab entry under the user's /var/spool/cron directory: $ crontab -l @reboot insync-headless start >/dev/null 2>&1 This runs independently of login sessions (multiple users might have multiple such entries). That appears to be the solution. I stress again that this is *undocumented*. Apologies for the noise and thanks to all who attempted to help. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
